Hi,
I gave this a go when I worked on chapter 11 of the Writer guide. I
renamed all the graphics as Ch11Figx. Those graphics not in a figure I
called Ch11pagex-1,-2 and so on.
Re-reading the work I decided to add another two figures at position Fig
14. All the graphics following that insertion point, except the last two
in the document, renamed themselves as graphicsx. Strangely non of the
in-line graphics past the insertion point, Ch11pagex, changed name. I
backed off at this point and left it as it was, thinking that I was
creating too much work for the rewards.

In several user guides, we advise users to give their graphics useful names

If graphics were given easily recognisable names (for example numbered graphics being
called Fig1, Fig2, etc., and inline graphics things like FooIcon), then it would be much
easier to handle the "disappearing graphics" problem. The initial .odt file
could be copied and unzipped, and if any graphics were not shown in Writer, they could be
retrieved from the graphics subdirectory and displayed alongside with a simple display
program like xv, feh or eog. This would make editing/proofing much easier.
Even if the file was actually stripped of graphics on saving (as shown by a
drastic reduction in its size), the graphics themselves would be safe and could
be zipped and uploaded along with the text file.
